While a stream setup is nice, it shouldn't be a priority. All the matches are going to be saved. (even if i have to babysit every match so people don't quit before saving. ) We can always restream later from the hotel room/hotspot ect.

We have pretty much 2 or 3 setups confirmed, its just a matter of space. I honestly see unib taking the majority of the melty players time so i dont expect to see that many entrants. So we can make due with one or two setups, hopefully next to unib.

If you want a big melty tornament w/stream, your going to have to wait for MeltyCup (aka NEC)

On a side note, me and airthrows want to run a Red v White as well. We didnt get a chance to at WB.

Ever wounder what melty blood characters would look like if they were living in our modern world? (and not nasu-shit crazy-verse) Well now you can find out! Mr. Airthrows (aka sophomre aka the last C.ryougi) recently made some sprites illustrating this. Check out these new "updated" characters scheduled for MBAACC ver. 2014 Collusion Cup edition on the PS4 and XboxDone!

First one the Left, we have Ryougi Shiki! After suffering numerous nerfs in CC, we decided to restore her to her former glory. First off, you may notice that her kimono has be replaced with jeans, Dramatically decreasing her wakeup time to only 3 frames. Her short hair also decreases the size of her hurtbox to that of neko arc while crouching. Oh and she can carry 3 knives now with the increased pocket space in her layered jackets. We hope these changes will make her viable now.

Moving on to Kouma. He got glasses. Prescription glasses! they increase the range of his cmd throw by 2 character lengths. His new converses allow him to grip the air better, giving him a triple jump. And his jacket obvs increases his health, but that goes without saying.

Next we have, tohno shiki. His jacket is now open. You're welcome.

Fourth we have... um... I... Aoko as a man... Moving on now...

Nanaya! Who is now more obnoxious then you ever thought possible. We combined MBAC nanaya with F.nanaya to create G.Nanaya. (Kinda like G.akiha, but not really...) Also 236B is normal/jump/special/super cancelable, for maximum bananaya action!

And finally... Satsuki. Not only will she get her own route, she'll get even more buffs to her sandori. I mean... come on... that mixup is ass... But her single ponytail is probably her greatest buff, allowing her streamlined body to dash though projectiles.

That concludes our demo for the new characters you'll most likely see in the next gen melty. New characters may be added if player demand is high enough. Post down below if you have any questions about the new buffs. Thank you!

Who:DKZlive. A relatively new streaming group of fighting game players from the Newark area: the505, TonyShiki and Sophomore. Some of you may remember us joining the scene 2 years ago. (or have met me at a Big E event, I'm the bad v.Akiha player ) We have two setups and are capable of streaming in HD. You can check us out at twitch.tv/dkzlive

What:A monthly gathering for Melty. If there is enough interest we can do side games. (GG, AH3, VSAV, anything really. Iamp maybe? ) We are looking for at least 10 people if we want to get a nice venue.

Where:Looking for one in Central NJ. Maybe 8 on the break if we can get 10 people. Open to ideas. What would be the farthest you guys would be willing to come?

When: Monthly. Most likely the first Friday/Saturday of the month as long as it doesn't conflict with other monthly's (TSB, ect) or Majors.

Why:With Shinobi's BBG coming up and Melty getting a shot in the arm from CCCaster, I personally feel like now is the best shot for one last attempt at getting a Offline melty scene going in NJ again. I know melty's scene in the past has had a hard time coming out to these kind of events but we want to work with you guys to try to make this happen. Meltys an awesome game and its a shame there's really no gatherings anymore like when I first joined.
